Lunar orbit position on 20 April 2088 Tuesday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠309.1°

This lunation true anomaly is ∠309.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠331.3°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).

Moon before perigee

9 days after point of apogee on 11 April 2088 at 05:21 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 2 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 23 April 2088 at 04:05 in ♉ Taurus.

Distance to Moon 372 310 km

12 days after its ascending node on 7 April 2088 at 14:55 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 21 April 2088 at 17:47 in ♈ Aries.

Draconic month

Moon before northern standstill

9 days after previous South standstill on 11 April 2088 at 07:55 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-19.390°. Next 4 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠19.385° in the next northern standstill on 24 April 2088 at 17:34 in ♊ Gemini.
